Yugoslav opposition controls parliament building

Fires are burning in the Yugoslav parliament in Belgrade today and vehicles, some of them police cars, are aflame nearby after protesters broke through riot police cordons and entered the building.

The opposition is now in control of the parliament after protesters smashed windows and threw books and pictures of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic from the windows while others waved Serbian flags from the parliament's balconies.

The demonstrators are attempting to force the resignation of Milosevic who they say lost the presidential election September 24 to opposition leader Vojislav Kostunica.
